I have a tactical tricked-out Yaesu FT-897D with an LDG AT-897 tuner. Even have the requisite H-250. I have used it a time or two for Moose and Squirrel with an inverted V in the back-yard. Is there a practical design for a whip that would work on the lower band 80/40/5MHz? I have some rods from a 292 antenna and a folding antenna from a PRC-8,9, or 10. Running the '897D from a 12v battery the power level is about 40 watts at best (vice a solid 100 watts with 13.5V). Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree? A decent counterpoise is always the bugaboo.
